November 21, 2021: A Hill of Bean
Olympian tenor-saxophonist Coleman "Bean" Hawkins is 117 today. Or is it 120? Hey, we all lie about our age. From teenage tours with Ma Rainey, making his first recordings in 1921, present at the birth of bebop, and blowing through all the changes in music right through the 1960's, Hawkins kept up with the times, and surpassed nearly everyone.

	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Coleman Randolph Hawkins (November 21, 1904 – May 19, 1969), nicknamed "Hawk" and sometimes "Bean", was an American jazz tenor saxophonist. One of the first prominent jazz musicians on his instrument, as Joachim E. Berendt explained: "there were some tenor players before him, but the instrument was not an acknowledged jazz horn". Hawkins biographer John Chilton described the prevalent styles of tenor saxophone solos prior to Hawkins as "mooing" and "rubbery belches." Hawkins cited as influences Happy Caldwell, Stump Evans, and Prince Robinson, although he was the first to tailor his method of improvisation to the saxophone rather than imitate the techniques of the clarinet. Hawkins' virtuosic, arpeggiated approach to improvisation, with his characteristic rich, emotional, and vibrato-laden tonal style, was the main influence on a generation of tenor players that included Chu Berry, Charlie Barnet, Tex Beneke, Ben Webster, Vido Musso, Herschel Evans, Buddy Tate, and Don Byas, and through them the later tenormen, Arnett Cobb, Illinois Jacquet, Flip Phillips, Ike Quebec, Al Sears, Paul Gonsalves, and Lucky Thompson. While Hawkins became known with swing music during the big band era, he had a role in the development of bebop in the 1940s. Fellow saxophonist Lester Young, known as "Pres", commented in a 1959 interview with The Jazz Review: "As far as I'm concerned, I think Coleman Hawkins was the President first, right? As far as myself, I think I'm the second one." Miles Davis once said: "When I heard Hawk, I learned to play ballads." '
	♥ 12:31pm Stork: chresti: My brother was minus-2 days old when this happened!
	🥁 ♥ 12:33pm doctorjazz: Never got to see Hawk, of course, did get to see Roy Eldridge, for the longest time he had a regular gig in midtown Manhattan, was still great to see!
	♥ 12:34pm Stork: Hey, Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - thanks for the info. For a lengthy interview with CH, check out: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:35pm Stork: Hi doc! Wow - woulda given a coupla minor appendages to have seen Roy E!!!
	🥁 ♥ 12:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: "Feedin' the Bean" was recorded on my birthday! But, uh, let's see... 33 years before I was born!
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stork wow - 2 hours worth.
	🥁 ♥ 12:41pm adamdoesit: Here's a favorite. Ray Nance's little voice, and Hawk's big one.
	♥ 12:41pm Stork: Yeah, RevRabb - the interviewer wasn't great, but it's never dull.
	♥ 12:42pm Stork: Ray Nance on violin.
	♥ 12:48pm duke: Nice interplay between Coleman Hawkins and Kenny Burrell
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mm.
	♥ 12:49pm Stork: @duke - oh, yeah.
	🥁 ♥ 12:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: My town's library has this Monk/Coltrane Riverside collection. I borrowed it a few weeks ago. Whadda gem!
	♥ 12:52pm Stork: Note that Coltrane isn't playing on this Off Minor - just Hawk.
	🥁 ♥ 12:53pm adamdoesit: Monster entrance on "Off Minor." Like the heavyweight champ at the bell that opens the round.
	🥁 ♥ 12:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ah yes, duly noted, Stork. Thanks!
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monk & Coltrane ...this is Home.
	♥ 12:55pm Stork: So right on-ski, adamdoesit! I always get the hairs standing up when it starts - which as Uncle Michael pointed out previously - makes them easier to tweeze. Tweeze is a funny word, I would submit.
	12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but why is a Hawk track on a Monk & Trane album ??
	♥ 12:57pm Stork: He didn't get billing there, RevRabb. Dunno why. He's on 2 or 3 tracks I think.
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Marketing...
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...&/or was that Monk&Trane residency...
	1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but wasn't Live anyhow ? Anyroad...
	♥ 1:01pm Stork: Play the blues, Oscar P!
	♥ 1:03pm Stork: RevRabb: that's a studio thing. Maybe they thought Hawk was too "old" - dumb fux.
	🥁 ♥ 1:09pm adamdoesit: Rev, "Off Minor" springs from the "Monk's Music" album -- you know, the one with Monk in little red wagon on the cover -- and is here (re-)collected.
	1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - to present Monk's complete Riverside trax, ok...
	🥁 ♥ 1:13pm Michael 98145: Bop it!
	♥ 1:16pm Stork: Yeah, thanks, adamdoesit. It's the usual ball of confusion in regards discography, Rev. That goes for at least half of what's on today's playlist.
	♥ 1:21pm Stork: Hey you there, Michael 98145🦆
	🥁 ♥ 1:29pm chresti: Dumb studio muckity-fux..
	♥ 1:34pm Stork: chresti: PLEASE! It's fuckity-mux! Language! The children!!
	1:34pm Listener Robert: As I sat down to the playlist I read "The Bebop Years" as "The Bellhop Years". This cataract is getting worse.
	1:35pm davefromtoronto: holy smokes what a tone!
	♥ 1:36pm Stork: Listener Robert - saluda!
	🥁 ♥ 1:41pm chresti: I can imagine my 12 year old son giggling at the curse words in the comments (he's 34 now and a champion curser)
	♥ 1:41pm Stork: Eldridge Kills!
	🥁 ♥ 1:41pm Michael 98145: ix-nay on the uckity-may
	1:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well Lorraine's got quite a line-up there in '46...
	♥ 1:52pm TDK60: I have to leave the club early, Stork. Tops sounds tonight. See ya.
	1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: flipside TDK60
	🥁 ♥ 1:52pm chresti: See ya TDK60,
	♥ 1:58pm Stork: Hey, TDK60 - thanks as always for coming and dirtying a glass or two. Back next week, y'heah?
	2:18pm davefromtoronto: oh man someone buy this guy a drink!
	2:22pm davefromtoronto: over there!
	🥁 ♥ 2:23pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the smiles, Stork. I gotta hop on the bike and catch a few miles before it gets dark. Gonna try and keep listening, one-earbud style…
	♥ 2:24pm Stork: Hey, thanks for the ride-along!
	♥ 2:26pm Stork: Roy Eldridge is sitting this one out - all Hawk here.
	♥ 2:27pm Stork: Hey, adamdoesit, strap on that brain-bucket and ride!!
	3:03pm davefromtoronto: never thought i could enjoy the saxophone this much - guess it depends on who's playing it. fantastic show!
	♥ 3:05pm Stork: @davefromtoronto - :) Coleman Hawkins is pretty irresistible.
	3:08pm davefromtoronto: holy smokes you're not kidding! always known of him but never really heard much until today.
	3:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: davefromtoronto would buy Body & Soul...
	♥ 3:11pm Doug Schulkind: Just hearing of the death of the great trombonist whose real name was ten times cooler than his nickname. Blessed homegoing to Locksley Wellington "Slide" Hampton.
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth∅: greetings Stork and all
	3:15pm davefromtoronto: i'm sure my grandmother used to dance to it.
	🥁 ♥ 3:16pm chresti: So this music would be somewhere between Swing and Be-bop? This is the stuff my dad liked.
	3:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jump Blues even...
	♥ 3:17pm Stork: davefromtoronto - the most amazing thing about him is how far he travelled musically. Just amazing where he turned up over the years. And, yeah, that tone!!
	♥ 3:17pm Stork: chresti - exactly !
	3:19pm davefromtoronto: yeah i'm gonna have to investigate that cat - body and soul!
	3:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cause that transition - from Swing to Bop - is so often characterized as totally sudden & complete.
	3:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & even polarizing...
	♥ 3:21pm Stork: Locksley? Sounds vaguely like the opposite of "Slide"
	♥ 3:21pm Stork: But the middle name clinches it.
	♥ 3:24pm Stork: And this time Johnny Hodges sits it out - Hawk alone.
	3:25pm Mark R: True, Rev, it really took place gradually, over 10 or 15 years. I have a recording of Charlie Christian playing with Diz and Max and some of the other beboppers at a jam session at Minton's Playhouse in I think 1942. And obviously Benny Goodman et al. were still the mainstream of jazz then, and bebop was just sort of an after-hours thing. Bird and Diz's peak was mid- to late 40s, but I'd say most of America didn't really catch up to it until the early to mid-50s, and by then Bird was dead, Dizzy was mostly playing Afro Cuban stuff, and Miles had moved on. All those things overlapped, bop into cool jazz, etc.
	♥ 3:25pm Stork: Hey coel!! Missed you back there!
	3:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& in the 50s into Cool Jazz &tc. ...
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh, as you say...
	♥ 3:28pm Stork: Major Holley....
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm chresti: Sure, I like it..
	♥ 3:37pm Stork: That Coleman Hawkins interview link: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm adamdoesit: Don't think I've ever been for a spin with so many greats. I like this (Jon Hendricks?) lyric. Only ever heard Carmen McRae sing it.
	♥ 3:44pm Stork: Thanks for alighting on your various perches for the Hawk Show. So fine to spend some time with youse and youse.
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm adamdoesit: It puts a smile on my punim to come back to the comments and see folks discovering the Hawk. Always there, always new.

	12:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Coleman Randolph Hawkins (November 21, 1904 – May 19, 1969), nicknamed "Hawk" and sometimes "Bean", was an American jazz tenor saxophonist. One of the first prominent jazz musicians on his instrument, as Joachim E. Berendt explained: "there were some tenor players before him, but the instrument was not an acknowledged jazz horn". Hawkins biographer John Chilton described the prevalent styles of tenor saxophone solos prior to Hawkins as "mooing" and "rubbery belches." Hawkins cited as influences Happy Caldwell, Stump Evans, and Prince Robinson, although he was the first to tailor his method of improvisation to the saxophone rather than imitate the techniques of the clarinet. Hawkins' virtuosic, arpeggiated approach to improvisation, with his characteristic rich, emotional, and vibrato-laden tonal style, was the main influence on a generation of tenor players that included Chu Berry, Charlie Barnet, Tex Beneke, Ben Webster, Vido Musso, Herschel Evans, Buddy Tate, and Don Byas, and through them the later tenormen, Arnett Cobb, Illinois Jacquet, Flip Phillips, Ike Quebec, Al Sears, Paul Gonsalves, and Lucky Thompson. While Hawkins became known with swing music during the big band era, he had a role in the development of bebop in the 1940s. Fellow saxophonist Lester Young, known as "Pres", commented in a 1959 interview with The Jazz Review: "As far as I'm concerned, I think Coleman Hawkins was the President first, right? As far as myself, I think I'm the second one." Miles Davis once said: "When I heard Hawk, I learned to play ballads." '
	♥ 12:31pm Stork: chresti: My brother was minus-2 days old when this happened!
	🥁 ♥ 12:33pm doctorjazz: Never got to see Hawk, of course, did get to see Roy Eldridge, for the longest time he had a regular gig in midtown Manhattan, was still great to see!
	♥ 12:34pm Stork: Hey, Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - thanks for the info. For a lengthy interview with CH, check out: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 12:35pm Stork: Hi doc! Wow - woulda given a coupla minor appendages to have seen Roy E!!!
	🥁 ♥ 12:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: "Feedin' the Bean" was recorded on my birthday! But, uh, let's see... 33 years before I was born!
	12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stork wow - 2 hours worth.
	🥁 ♥ 12:41pm adamdoesit: Here's a favorite. Ray Nance's little voice, and Hawk's big one.
	♥ 12:41pm Stork: Yeah, RevRabb - the interviewer wasn't great, but it's never dull.
	♥ 12:42pm Stork: Ray Nance on violin.
	♥ 12:48pm duke: Nice interplay between Coleman Hawkins and Kenny Burrell
	12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Mm.
	♥ 12:49pm Stork: @duke - oh, yeah.
	🥁 ♥ 12:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: My town's library has this Monk/Coltrane Riverside collection. I borrowed it a few weeks ago. Whadda gem!
	♥ 12:52pm Stork: Note that Coltrane isn't playing on this Off Minor - just Hawk.
	🥁 ♥ 12:53pm adamdoesit: Monster entrance on "Off Minor." Like the heavyweight champ at the bell that opens the round.
	🥁 ♥ 12:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Ah yes, duly noted, Stork. Thanks!
	12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monk & Coltrane ...this is Home.
	♥ 12:55pm Stork: So right on-ski, adamdoesit! I always get the hairs standing up when it starts - which as Uncle Michael pointed out previously - makes them easier to tweeze. Tweeze is a funny word, I would submit.
	12:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but why is a Hawk track on a Monk & Trane album ??
	♥ 12:57pm Stork: He didn't get billing there, RevRabb. Dunno why. He's on 2 or 3 tracks I think.
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Marketing...
	12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...&/or was that Monk&Trane residency...
	1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but wasn't Live anyhow ? Anyroad...
	♥ 1:01pm Stork: Play the blues, Oscar P!
	♥ 1:03pm Stork: RevRabb: that's a studio thing. Maybe they thought Hawk was too "old" - dumb fux.
	🥁 ♥ 1:09pm adamdoesit: Rev, "Off Minor" springs from the "Monk's Music" album -- you know, the one with Monk in little red wagon on the cover -- and is here (re-)collected.
	1:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - to present Monk's complete Riverside trax, ok...
	🥁 ♥ 1:13pm Michael 98145: Bop it!
	♥ 1:16pm Stork: Yeah, thanks, adamdoesit. It's the usual ball of confusion in regards discography, Rev. That goes for at least half of what's on today's playlist.
	♥ 1:21pm Stork: Hey you there, Michael 98145🦆
	🥁 ♥ 1:29pm chresti: Dumb studio muckity-fux..
	♥ 1:34pm Stork: chresti: PLEASE! It's fuckity-mux! Language! The children!!
	1:34pm Listener Robert: As I sat down to the playlist I read "The Bebop Years" as "The Bellhop Years". This cataract is getting worse.
	1:35pm davefromtoronto: holy smokes what a tone!
	♥ 1:36pm Stork: Listener Robert - saluda!
	🥁 ♥ 1:41pm chresti: I can imagine my 12 year old son giggling at the curse words in the comments (he's 34 now and a champion curser)
	♥ 1:41pm Stork: Eldridge Kills!
	🥁 ♥ 1:41pm Michael 98145: ix-nay on the uckity-may
	1:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well Lorraine's got quite a line-up there in '46...
	♥ 1:52pm TDK60: I have to leave the club early, Stork. Tops sounds tonight. See ya.
	1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: flipside TDK60
	🥁 ♥ 1:52pm chresti: See ya TDK60,
	♥ 1:58pm Stork: Hey, TDK60 - thanks as always for coming and dirtying a glass or two. Back next week, y'heah?
	2:18pm davefromtoronto: oh man someone buy this guy a drink!
	2:22pm davefromtoronto: over there!
	🥁 ♥ 2:23pm adamdoesit: Thanks for the smiles, Stork. I gotta hop on the bike and catch a few miles before it gets dark. Gonna try and keep listening, one-earbud style…
	♥ 2:24pm Stork: Hey, thanks for the ride-along!
	♥ 2:26pm Stork: Roy Eldridge is sitting this one out - all Hawk here.
	♥ 2:27pm Stork: Hey, adamdoesit, strap on that brain-bucket and ride!!
	3:03pm davefromtoronto: never thought i could enjoy the saxophone this much - guess it depends on who's playing it. fantastic show!
	♥ 3:05pm Stork: @davefromtoronto - :) Coleman Hawkins is pretty irresistible.
	3:08pm davefromtoronto: holy smokes you're not kidding! always known of him but never really heard much until today.
	3:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: davefromtoronto would buy Body & Soul...
	♥ 3:11pm Doug Schulkind: Just hearing of the death of the great trombonist whose real name was ten times cooler than his nickname. Blessed homegoing to Locksley Wellington "Slide" Hampton.
	♥ 3:12pm coelacanth∅: greetings Stork and all
	3:15pm davefromtoronto: i'm sure my grandmother used to dance to it.
	🥁 ♥ 3:16pm chresti: So this music would be somewhere between Swing and Be-bop? This is the stuff my dad liked.
	3:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jump Blues even...
	♥ 3:17pm Stork: davefromtoronto - the most amazing thing about him is how far he travelled musically. Just amazing where he turned up over the years. And, yeah, that tone!!
	♥ 3:17pm Stork: chresti - exactly !
	3:19pm davefromtoronto: yeah i'm gonna have to investigate that cat - body and soul!
	3:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cause that transition - from Swing to Bop - is so often characterized as totally sudden & complete.
	3:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & even polarizing...
	♥ 3:21pm Stork: Locksley? Sounds vaguely like the opposite of "Slide"
	♥ 3:21pm Stork: But the middle name clinches it.
	♥ 3:24pm Stork: And this time Johnny Hodges sits it out - Hawk alone.
	3:25pm Mark R: True, Rev, it really took place gradually, over 10 or 15 years. I have a recording of Charlie Christian playing with Diz and Max and some of the other beboppers at a jam session at Minton's Playhouse in I think 1942. And obviously Benny Goodman et al. were still the mainstream of jazz then, and bebop was just sort of an after-hours thing. Bird and Diz's peak was mid- to late 40s, but I'd say most of America didn't really catch up to it until the early to mid-50s, and by then Bird was dead, Dizzy was mostly playing Afro Cuban stuff, and Miles had moved on. All those things overlapped, bop into cool jazz, etc.
	♥ 3:25pm Stork: Hey coel!! Missed you back there!
	3:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& in the 50s into Cool Jazz &tc. ...
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh, as you say...
	♥ 3:28pm Stork: Major Holley....
	🥁 ♥ 3:36pm chresti: Sure, I like it..
	♥ 3:37pm Stork: That Coleman Hawkins interview link: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 3:43pm adamdoesit: Don't think I've ever been for a spin with so many greats. I like this (Jon Hendricks?) lyric. Only ever heard Carmen McRae sing it.
	♥ 3:44pm Stork: Thanks for alighting on your various perches for the Hawk Show. So fine to spend some time with youse and youse.
	🥁 ♥ 3:46pm adamdoesit: It puts a smile on my punim to come back to the comments and see folks discovering the Hawk. Always there, always new.
	♥ 3:46pm Stork: adamdoesit - the lineups are uniformly mind-blowing here. So it was with Hawk - from sidemen to his suits and his booze, he went first class all the way.
	3:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Stork ~
